Sorry about the awkward title; I had a lot of trouble trying to word it.

Anyway, I got my first pair of glasses yesterday. I went in for my first eye exam in nearly a decade, and apparently I have mild astigmatism. So for the past day I’ve been getting used to the sensation of having glasses on (I never cared for sunglasses, personally; I’ve always found them hard to see in) and getting a touch of euphoria about how they conceal the brow somewhat. But then it kinda hit me that I don’t really know anything about glasses, having not used them until age 36. I probably should have asked some questions about it when I picked them up, but I was kinda sick and didn’t want to stick around there too long.

I know I could just google it, but google sucks now, plus, I may as well use the AskBeehaw platform, it’s pretty quiet.

  • I’m glad this thread has helped!

    I’d say I do have have sensory issues, but they’re mostly audio/feel/taste related, not visual. That being said, I’ve been indoors most of the time so far, so we’ll see how the sun affects me.

    I have a pair of over ear headphones that I haven’t tried with these on yet. I put them on and at first, anyway, they seem to be comfy enough. Does seem a bit quieter than usual, though.

    Thanks! bee party emoji
